File sharing is cumbersome. It is expensive. And even if you are an IT wizard (without the funny hat) it’s hard to secure. Tailscale changes all that:
- Download Tailscale from the QNAP App Center and access your NAS from anywhere, without opening firewall ports.
- Share your QNAP NAS with designated Tailscale users.
- Restrict access to your QNAP NAS using ACLs.
- Use your NAS as a subnet router to provide external access to your LAN, replacing a traditional standalone VPN server.
- Use your QNAP NAS as an exit node for safe Internet access even when you’re in an untrusted location like an Internet cafe.
